AGLORY accuses ETC!ETC! of stealing!
Parisian duo AGLORY has called out ETC!ETC!, accusing the moombahton/trap producer of stealing their track “Chromaggus” for his remix of “No Stopping Us” by Dirtyphonics, which dropped on Dim Mak just this week:
With the recent string of Music theft in the dance industry today, one cringes at the thought of yet more music being stolen. When ETC!ETC!’s soundcloud page had been checked, the link to his remix had been removed. He had then tweeted the following, in response to accusations.

When ETC!ETC! had been confronted, he had denied all such accusations. However, he did admit to using a sample pack, which could have been the same sample pack AGLORY had used, which could have been what had given rise to these accusations.
Producer, Autoerotique also tweeted this in support:
If Etc Etc jackd dudes (which he didn't) and France got mad I wouldn't even see a spoon drop at dinner.—

When ETC!ETC! had been ask as to why he’d removed the soundcloud link, he had this to say, “I reached out to AGLORY this morning first thing when I woke up because my phone was blowing up. Went online to find this entire mess. Reason I took it down was to show my respect, that 1) I mean no harm and 2) that I would contact Dim Mak to make another remix because as a man, I felt like a douche.” He said that he’s not a fan of “people stealing other peoples work, as it has happened to me in a bigger way, but that’s neither here nor there.”
Since then, both parties had reconciled their differences, thus making the music world a happier place to live in.
